yes you can, however, please take note that the registration fee will be Php 200 …and… you will no longer be eligible for any award (even in the age category, though you’d still be included in the overall finishers)

plus you will have limited choice of singlet size (as far as i know, its already limited…) or may even run out of slots

thanks for inquiring!

[...] (Nursing a lazy leg – chronic stage already - I had second thoughts over the weekend if I can hack it to race at Mak8 this coming Sunday. And I really had to ask Macrunners to elaborate on the race route condition http://www.macrunners.org/mac8race-route.html/comment-page-1#comment-37) [...]

Thanks for quick response, appreciated that. Looks like a crazy race there huh! Anyway one more question- we’ve got feedback lang about linta on the road to Peak 2 during rainy season.. will there be linta during the race? Just checking.. the minor muddy condition is bearable but the linta threat is something else..

Pls advise, thanks!

here’s a shot of the route, within a kilometer from the 5km turning point. however, please take note that this was taken during summer…

good day! regarding your inquiry.
the road from Baker Hall to the 5km turning point (T.R.E.E.S) is all paved road. Starting from the 5km turning point, all the way to the 12km turning point, it will be rough road with some rocky and some muddy portions, though the mud won’t be ‘that’ thick (not like the NorthFace Trail Run mud).

hi, my friends and I are interested in joining the race. can you give us more details about the race route? is it all paved road naman or are we going to wrestle w/ thick mud going to peak 2 turnaround point?
